Dneelyep: Reverting a series of vandalism.

== Books ==

* '''Learning GNU Emacs, 2nd Edition''' by Debra Cameron, Bill Rosenblatt, Eric S. Raymond

Much better than the current, 3rd edition. The first half of the book walks you through the fundamental steps, as a tutorial.

Can be obtained from O'Reilly http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781565921528.do

* '''Casting Spells in Lisp (Emacs Lisp version)''' by Conrad Barski M.D.

Written originally to teach some other flavor of Lisp, the book has been modified for [http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/ Emacs Lisp]. The presentation is in a form between a comic book and a manual that educates while you have fun. The best of both worlds.

It can be read online [http://www.lisperati.com/casting-spels-emacs/html/casting-spels-emacs-1.html here].

== Useful Extensions ==

Before you install a lot of extensions, explore your Emacs distribution! Try {{Keys|C-h p}} ({{Command|find-emacs-packages}}) to browse the available packages by category.

== Configuring Emacs ==
[https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/my-dot-emacs-file This] blog post is a great introduction to setting up your init.el (formerly .emacs) and your emacs directory the "professional way"!

Ruby-mode

2012-07-28T19:21:44Z

Dneelyep: Added to the Major modes category.

{{Package
|name=ruby-mode
|description=major mode for Ruby programming
|author=Yukihiro Matsumoto
|maintainer=[[FSF]]
|source=http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/emacs-24/annotate/head:/lisp/progmodes/ruby-mode.el
|in_emacs=yes, since Emacs 23
}}

'''ruby-mode''' provides Emacs font-lock, indentation, and navigation for the [[Ruby]] programming language.

I am totally wowed and perpared to take the next step now.

== Helpful keybindings ==

/ do you use several plguins in your theme? it looks like a conflict because of different plguins!Ib4m working with the theme for the last 2 weeks and I have absolutely no problems with it, except the navigation.php

== See Also ==

* [[ruby-end]]
* [[ruby-block]]
* [[inf-ruby]]
* [[rinari]]

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I suppose I get what youre daeclring. I realize what you're saying, but you just seem to have forgotten that you'll find some other persons within the world who look at this matter for what it genuinely is and may not agree with you. You may well be turning away a decent amount of folks who might have been supporters of your website.

Guile

2012-07-28T19:19:00Z

Dneelyep: Added some categories for the language.

Guile is the GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions, the official extension language for the GNU operating system.

== Guile as a programming language ==

# Guile is an interpreter and compiler for the [[Scheme]] programming language.

# Guile has fully support of R5RS, most of the R6RS, many SRFI.

=== GOOP ===
GOOPS is the object oriented extension to Guile.

== Guile as an extension language platform ==

# Guile is a virtual machine that executes a portable instruction set generated by its compiler.
# Guile can integrate very easily with C and C++ application code.
# In addition to Scheme, Guile includes compiler front-ends for ECMAScript and Emacs Lisp.

== Emacs and Guile ==
Guile team has a long-term plan to replace the [[elisp]] engine in emacs with its own.
